WinterZone - LBB bogies

This article was published Apr 09, 2023.

Did make the drawing for these very special type of bogies today. They did once run on the Lindfors Bosjön Railway in the middle of Sweden. LBB was a small timberline and at first only had bolsters on top of skip frames, but they often did jump of the track, so the owner designed these himself. It did go through 2-3 versions but the last was very successful and all wagons then had these until the line was closed down.

They are mainly intended for the HOf wagons I made years ago, but I ordered them in both 1:45 and 1:35 just to get a sense for them in real life. Photos when printed.

It will be available on WinterZone later this year.

The photos on the real thing are taken in Mariefred at ÖSLJ back in 2004 when my wife and I was there. Sadly these bogies are the only thing remaining from this line. Not a single wagon or loco remains.
